" Why do we have to do this?" Matthew whined as Halley straightened his bow tie.
" Because Granma e-mailed me, telling me to come home so I could represent the Winner Family at some Party thing, in the Senk Kingdom, & I brought you, because if you love me, you'll want to meet my family."
" Why did Taro have to come?" Matthew whined.
" Because she thinks we need 'supervision' so we won't be alone for too long." She kissed him on the mouth.
" can I go sit in Shenlong?" Taro whined.
" No. C'mon." Halley walked through the door she was standing in front of.
" Halley is that you?" an elderly woman was sitting in a large velvet chair, that was in front of a large window. She stood up.
" Hello Grandmother!" Halley walked up to the elderly woman, and hugged her.
" Halley my little one, do you really know why you are here?" Mrs. Winner closed her eyes gently, completely ignoring Matthew & Taro.
" I'm not here to be the ambassador for the Winner family?!"
" Yes, you are , but now that you are eighteen years old, you should be married." The elderly woman sat back down in her chair.
" Married, uh… Grandmother, I'm kinda, like, really busy with stuff."
" Oh… in that case I'll call off the search for Matthew Barton."
" Grandmother! This is Matthew! HE'S MY LOVER! Oops!" The blonde put her hands over her mouth, when the old woman looked at her, then at Matthew.
" I see the resemblance between him and his father..." The elderly woman stood up and walked towards the fireplace. " …his father was a very kind man, and very handsome too."
" Grandmother." Halley walked to where She was standing. " I almost forgot. This is Taro Chang." She motioned towards Taro, and he bowed.
" I remember his father too… he didn't like women too much." She went over to where Taro was standing and looked into his eyes. " You have a good soul. I like you." She smiled at Taro.
" Mrs. Winner?" Taro addressed the woman respectfully. " if you have the capabilities to find one person, through the colonies and stuff, could we use it to find five?"
" I suppose you could, but why?"
" No particular reason, Ma'am."
** A week Later in the Senk Kingdom **
" Trio, you don't have any dresses!!!" Rachel screamed. " You have to wear a dress!"
" I'm sorry, I just am so poor I can't afford a dress. All I have is my old uniform from school! Here's all the cash I have!" she opened a wallet and all that fell out was a quarter, & a photo.
" What's this?" Rachel picked the picture up, it was the first Photo that all their Families were in. Right in front were Duo & Jessica, holding baby Trio, who was wearing a white christening gown, and in the back were Trowa, Amanda, & Matthew, Quarte, Danielle, & Halley, Wufei, Theodora, & Taro, and Finally Heero, Relena, & her. A single tear slipped down her cheek.
" What's wrong?" Trio looked at the picture. " Oh… that. I found that stuck in Death-Scythe. It is the only picture that had me in it."
" That was a week before your mother died, and a month before…" Rachel started crying.
" You're under a lot of stress aren't you? You go rest, I'll find myself a dress, don't worry." A month before what?
" You can borrow one of my old dresses, if you want to." Rachel walked out of the room.
" Thanks!" Trio smiled.
